Mouse Methionine Adenosyltransferase I Alpha (MAT1a) ELISA Kit

This colorimetric ELISA kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of mouse Methionine Adenosyltransferase I Alpha (MAT1a) in research samples prepared from tissue homogenates. MAT1a encodes the hepatic-specific enzyme that catalyzes biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), the principal biological methyl donor, and altered MAT1a expression is studied in models of liver injury, steatosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Configured for mouse reactivity, the assay is supplied in a 96-assay microplate format intended for research use only. Sample preparation from liver and other MAT1a-expressing tissues is compatible with the workflow, and absorbance-based readout allows standard curve-based quantitation of MAT1a protein levels across a working range appropriate for hepatic tissue lysates.

Investigators working on methionine metabolism, methylation capacity, or hepatic gene regulation use this kit to track MAT1a levels under experimental conditions such as dietary methionine or choline manipulation, ethanol exposure, or genetic knockout studies. Store kit components according to the supplied protocol to maintain reagent stability across the run.
